BLACK LACQUER STAND WITH STONE INSERTS

Form in Chinese classical furniture is one of its major attractions. Their forms are more closely inclined to follow the minimalist ideals of the Chinese scholar's mind. The ink stone stand is one of an example of beautifully balanced form. Here the elevated framework of the stand evokes the feeling uplift, as though to co-ordinate with any given object when placed on it. The otherwise rigid squished form is softened by the artistic manipulation of its slender posts aesthetically pleasing to look at from any angle. This classic ink stone stand is of mainly framework construction, with particular features that are simple, elegant and unadorned and stress on lines of bright and fresh artistic appeal.
